Poker Craze Cooling Off?Too bad... just when I was getting okay at it, all the fish leave: [A]s this holiday season nears an end, the industry's luck seems to be running out as boxed sets of cards and chips are discounted, ratings fade for some poker-themed television shows and shares of a poker-linked stock slump. In very sad news from the blogosphere, Karol just hanged herself. She left a note reading only "Bad beat." posted by Ace at 04:54 PM

All Nude, all the time! Just thought I would test the filter on who, or whatever monitors your comment board. So all of the above are Okay, but I can't say POrK hEr? Odd trigger. Posted by: Wickedpinto on December 25, 2005 06:13 PM
Shame, since the filter doesn't allow "POKE heR" read the caps, but allows "poke her" ruined a perfectly well written post about the comparisson of "POKE heR" as a fad and comic books. Why is it that one word is offensive like "POKE heR!" but not things that are more offensive, like the above list? Posted by: Wickedpinto on December 25, 2005 06:16 PM
Beats me. Posted by: Andy Rooney on December 25, 2005 06:58 PM
But you see the Stupid conflict don't you Andy? Posted by: Wickedpinto on December 25, 2005 07:05 PM
I just made a perfectly inoccuous comment, giving you a tip on a cool news story, and it got nuked by your filter. Posted by: Kralizec on December 25, 2005 07:26 PM
Exactly my point Kralizec Posted by: Wickedpinto on December 25, 2005 07:44 PM
JESUS CHRIST HAS REMOVED HIS BLESSING FROM AMERICA BECAUSE OF THE AMERINAZIS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN A COUNTRY BECOMES SO THOROUGHLY CORRUPT THAT IT BEGINS VIOLATING THE LORD'S LAWS FLAGRANTLY. AMERICA'S LAST HALF DOZEN WARS HAVE BEEN WAGED PRIMARILY TO BOOST A PRESIDENT'S APPROVAL RATINGS. THOSE ARE UNJUST WARS, AND EVERYBODY KILLED IN THEM IS A MURDER VICTIM. PLUS, LOOK AT WHAT A DEN OF THIEVES THE AMERICAN MARKETPLACE HAS BECOME. AMERICA IS SOON TO BE TOPPLED, MUCH THE SAME AS THE FIRST NAZI NATION, GERMANY, WAS WHEN THEY WENT TOO FAR. MARK MY WORDS.

Dude, there's this thing called the Shift key. You should get acquainted with it. Posted by: zetetic on December 25, 2005 08:42 PM
Actually zetetic, I believe the dude was probably shouting those words as he typed, so the upper-case is appropriate here. Posted by: Russ from Winterset on December 25, 2005 08:47 PM
DEAN only knows shouting, I think. Anyway, Merry Christmas to Ace and everyone else here. Posted by: Mike Toner on December 25, 2005 08:59 PM
I can't see anything through these damn eyebrows. Posted by: Andy Rooney on December 25, 2005 09:27 PM
Dean, is your middle name Dingle? Posted by: Don Carne on December 25, 2005 09:30 PM
Well, there's this guy you might want to get to know... Posted by: Steven Den Beste on December 25, 2005 10:05 PM
Shame about Karol. Posted by: harrison on December 25, 2005 10:16 PM
Dean, with all your caps on, I only read the first 2 words and the last 2 words..... "Jesus Christ...this post" Not too sure what that means, but it looks like you were swearing at your own post. Posted by: Matt on December 25, 2005 10:25 PM
1. If Harrington on Hold'em is still over your head, you're not getting all that much better at pokar. 2. Still plenty of fishies in the pond. You might be one of them. 3. Check out Cryptologic's stock. It creates gaming software for online gambling, has done quite well since inception, and continues to look strong. Two of my family members made a tidy profit on it, and still hold some shares. Posted by: The Warden on December 25, 2005 11:42 PM
Beanie Babies, internet stocks, card games...where will the dumb money flow next? Posted by: Moonbat_One on December 26, 2005 12:23 AM
okay, so waaaaaaay back in September, I get this choice gig (ahem), and one of the first comments I see is THAT VERY ONE. all caps means it's important. no sense debating the dude, he's gone forever...or until he needs some more hits. but that cut and paste comment...it was seared into my memory...like that time I was up in Cambodia, on that secret mission with John Kerry and Shaft.... Posted by: MacStansbury on December 26, 2005 12:57 AM
Den Beste shows up on this thread? Good grief! Steven, threads like this are for the regular weirdos. You have a reputation. You are supposed to show up with your intellectual firepower on threads that are actually discussing serious shit. OK? Posted by: Michael on December 26, 2005 02:11 AM
I wouldn't have said you were good. Per se. Maybe - decent with potential. Posted by: on December 26, 2005 03:35 AM

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?" I posted his post on twitter and it's gotten 25K views so far. Thanks, Smell the Glove Chris

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source" Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held. Basil the Great
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.
Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing. Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult. Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending. (((Dan Hodges))) Nick Lowles
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98. Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years. Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45 Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%. I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens. REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs. Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
![]() That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time. I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
